159$ is a pretty good steal. I recently had to take my curado 200 in for repair. puppy was squealing like a stuck pig (after they cleaned and repaired it???) You bet i was furious. I am debating on buying one or waiting for the new ones to come out.

I did the same when kayaking and trying to take a rattltrap outta a reds mouth... but it only lasted soo long. i still thnk i was raped on the cleaning/repairing part... I mean come on the reel still had dirt on the outside and one piece was loose as all get out.

Yea, Ron does an awesome job. Took some reels to him last year and he fixed 'em up perfect!

[SaltERedneck]

Is he outta Bell City?? Usually the guys i take it to are on the ball. It may be me expecting more... I mean i know its not gonna be brand new and sound perfect but this thing was a burden to listen to.

Yea that's him, across from the school. I had an older Ambassador that would make 10 kinds of racket when I cast, took it to him and 2 days later I picked it up and it was like brand new. He took it completely apart, cleaned it, changed a part and I think it was like $20.

Pox... its only a year old. it shouldnt be locking up like that. and i am not about to lose a part trying to clean or repair it myself.

Cause I don't want to bring mine somewhere like that.

Not bashing them at all.... its my second home. Guess i expected it to be brand new again.

[bayouchub]

Y not take it back to lct and let them fix it since that is what you paid for???

[SaltERedneck]

taking it back tomorrow when i have time. inconvenience since i will be fishing this weekend short a curado.

[Jordan]

Pm Reelman. I think he charged $20 + parts. I sent him mine on a Monday and i got them back the same week (friday)..... like new.

[Jedi Lure Tricks]

just to let y'all know.. we have reel repair at the tackle box in sulphur. he charges $20 for cleaning, and parts on top of that. i rarely get complaints and if we do, he will fix it fast w/ no charge, of course. he also offers a bearing upgrade for shimano reels. i had him do an old cu200bsf that i couldnt bear to part with.. thing casts better than it ever did.
